What Would Have Jesus Written On the Ground
They brought an immoral woman unto Him with stones in their hands,
He knew they were the people of wickedness,
She stood ‘midst them with her head bent down,
She was seen smeared with dirt and glooms,
They looked ferocious and religious around her.
“Teacher, she carries dirt in her body,” one shouted.
“Man, yea, she is held in immorality with men.” Another cried.
In silence Jesus held and down to the ground bent ----
On the ground He wrote but in silence,
The woman in rags did wait for His Word,
But no word uttered from His mouth.
The angry mob shouted: “we’re righteous and she unrighteous,
Judge her and let us stone her to death,
For this is the law of Moses.”
And uttered from His mouth no word,
But bent down again to the ground and wrote.
“What do You write? Judge her,
For Thou art the Teacher, You say,” The mob shouted.
He rose and proclaimed:
“Anyone sinless ‘mongst you all can stone her to death.”
Less than a fraction of second the mob melted,
And she stood alone in rags and dirt.
He pronounced:” I too never judge thee,
Go, sin no more.”
She confessed:”My Lord!”
And she left.

On the ground first what would have Jesus written?
Jesus’ mind speaketh:
“Father in Heaven, Thou hast given me a test,
For me too bound in Moses law,
The mob around Me tempt My Authority ----
The Authority Thou hast hidden in Me ----
As the tempter tried Me in wilderness.
Teach Me what to do for Mine is to do Thy Will on earth.
Second on the ground what would have Jesus written?
Jesus’ mind reveals:
“Our Father in Heaven, thank Thee Thou hast answered Me,
Thou hast made me do Thy Will on earth,
Thou hast shown Me Thou art the God of love and forgiveness,
Thou art in Me and I am in Thee.
I will not judge the woman in dirt and scold not the sinners,
Thank You, Father in Heaven,
I will do Thy Will alone.”
